From idea to impact
In an ever-changing world with billion-person challenges, we needed an ambitious strategic plan to provide us with the bold direction required to position Canada as a global leader in innovation. A plan that centres on advancing a continuum of innovation, deploying bright minds for a better future, and driving inclusive innovation by design – and that’s just the beginning.
We look forward to bringing our vision to life and translating our strategic plan into actionable decisions that will help improve the lives of Canadians and beyond, because Canadian innovation has the power to change the world. We are grateful to our many partners who provided input into this plan, and we look forward to working with you to make it a reality.
